Room for Squares If there is one thing to be learned from the ruckus caused by the passing of that hateful proposition, it’s that we’re a hardy and steadfast bunch. We know what we want, we go after it and we won’t let anything stand in our way. So to all the naysayers out there who continually want to rag on our so-called fickleness -- give it a rest, will ya? |

Pinkyswear On what will likely be the last weekend of its kind, San Francisco seemed ripe for the picking. Sure, the rain was right at our heels, but that didn’t mean that we couldn’t be extra celebratory about the last time we’d feel eighty degrees for six months. On a Saturday night, every patio at every restaurant in town was overflowing with the sweet excesses that only the ends of summer can deliver. I was making my rounds, enjoying my short shorts for the last time, and couldn’t believe how much scoop was taking place all over. |

Potrero Hill’s New Spot for Raw Fish, Small Plates and Sake On a street with French, Mediterranean, Chinese, Southeast Asian and, of course, pizza, the only cuisine that’s been missing on Potrero Hill’s 18th Street corridor is Japanese, until this year -- when Umi opened its doors. A casual, sit-down sushi spot, the restaurant is a welcome addition to an already globally cuisine-rich street. |

New, Antiquarian and Collectible Books In a city obsessed with all things culinary, it seems strange that we didn’t have a book store devoted to the topic of food before, but we do now. Just opened this past weekend is Omnivore Books on Food, located on Cesar Chavez Avenue at Church Street in Noe Valley. |

An Exchange of Political Posters between artists from the Bay Area and artists from Puerto Rico In the past eight years, we have seen America steered wildly off-course: Abu Ghraib. Guantánamo. The Patriot Act. The War on Terror. An erosion of environmental policy. We voted in the candidate for change, the candidate that repudiated the Bush Doctrine, but where does that leave us? What is the state of our country, our democracy, our politics? The Art of Democracy is a national art coalition that aims to expand the dialogue on these questions. |

Many Unhappy Returns Rating: 2 out of 5 stars.
James Bond is mad as hell, and you will be too as you try to decipher an often incomprehensible story that takes him around the world in a little less than two hours, making Quantum his shortest adventure on record. |

Is That Your Final Answer? Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
British Director Danny Boyle is a true chameleon. Unlike many other contemporary, indie directors he isn’t content sticking with one genre. Ever since he wowed audiences with Trainspotting, he has made the faux-horror classic 28 Days Later, the family crime drama Millions and the sci-fi, space thriller Sunshine. Now he brings us Slumdog Millionaire, a film set in India that follows the life of a boy from the slums. It’s not only one of the best films of the year, but it’s one of the best of Boyle’s already incredible career. |

The Last Gasp of an Action Hero Rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
What would Jean-Claude Van Damme be without his roundhouse kicks? That’s the question JCVD, a loosely biographical slice of cinema vérité about the so-called Muscles From Brussels, dares to ask, and you might be surprised at the answer. |

An Ill Collaboration Underdog status is nothing new for Gift of Gab, Lateef the Truth Speaker and Headnodic, the Bay Area hip hop fixtures that joined forces to create the Mighty Underdogs. Although all three have seen various degrees of success, easy money is rare in the underground hip hop game. |

The BBC Sessions A cherry-picked collection of this indie-rock band’s best, the two-disk BBC Sessions will be snapped up by devoted fans in no time. Whilst the song selection doesn’t divert much from the original studio recordings, it’s always nice to have your favorites play one after the other -- making the BBC Sessions the ultimate "best of". Having said that, there are a few rarities from a 2001 session including “Shoot The Sexual Athlete” and “Nothing in the Silence” which was sung by Isobel Campbell shortly before she left the band. |

Released on Matador/Domino, 12/9/08 If I were to make a mix tape of my high school years, not only would I need to buy a tape deck and some cassettes but I would also need to dig out my old tape box. And if I felt willing and emotionally stable enough to take a little trip back to 1992 and create a soundtrack to my awkward coming of age and self-conscious adolescent angst, Pavement would be a featured artist. |

Released on Lujo Records, 11/18/08 Chicago-native Abraham Levitan may be better known as the lead singer of indie-soul group Baby Teeth. But while the group awaits the release of their third album, Levitan decided to break out on his own. Unfortunately, it’s not without its faults. |
